What Sembly does
Sembly records and transcribes meetings across Zoom, Teams, Meet and Webex, producing AI-generated meeting minutes, task lists and semantic search across past meetings. Positioned for consultants and mid-size teams needing per-workspace seat control.
What you get: AI meeting minutes, task extraction, semantic meeting search, multi-platform recording.
Typical jobs: Consultant/client meeting documentation; internal team knowledge base; compliance-oriented meeting retention.
What users complain about: "Problem is it doesn't work half of the time" - almost half of meetings can't be recorded, per one reviewer (g2.com Sembly AI pros-and-cons)

Where it wins
- G2's Voice Recognition sub-score of 8.6 suggests transcription quality is a relative strength
- Meeting-history retention scales clearly by tier (1yr to unlimited), useful for compliance-minded teams
- Workspace-level seat scaling (up to 500 users on MAX) suits larger orgs without moving to Enterprise
Where it falls short
- No free plan - cheapest option is $17/month (Basic), a real barrier versus Otter/Fireflies/Fathom free tiers
- G2 reviewers report reliability problems: 'almost half of the meetings can't be recorded' and app crashes losing meeting data
- Long meetings (3h+) get split into smaller chunks instead of one continuous summary, frustrating some users
- Audio upload cap of 5 hours on Basic is restrictive for teams doing interview-heavy work
